I am using Chrome on my work PC (WindowsXP) and it is so quick I love it!
I can't wait for a linux build.

As I said before, that is not chrome, is chromium, and is not even a full browser, just some applications.

Kensai's right (of course). This has now been added to the page linked above:

Note: There is no working Chromium-based browser on Linux. Although many Chromium submodules build under Linux and a few unit tests pass, all that runs is a command-line "all tests pass" executable.

Im using it at work , Under XP and so far so good , even runs some of our proprietary sites here at work which wouldnt run in firefox,

I tried it at work and some things were nicer, but it wouldn't run SAP employee self service, the java(script??) driven frames would load, show for a moment then close, but the menu on the top frame was still there. That's the same problem IE (woops meant to say that FireFox has) has with SAP.

It starts up SUPER fast! It renders pages VERY fast! Its UI design is PERFECTLY elegant! Very stable here and never crashed once!

I only hope it supports extensions!

In one word: impressed!

AndyRTR · 2008-09-03 08:08:23

I can't get it build. Only weird scons failures. The source is also a monster. Even bigger than OpenOffice :S

fails always this way: http://pastebin.com/m5e101799

Trying it out on my windows box right now. Don't like it very much so far....

patroclo7 · 2008-09-03 09:47:11

I hope they are going to care really about releases for linux (not in the way they care about - say - googleearth or picasa which are always out-of-date and often broken in the linux version).

Mr Green · 2008-09-03 10:38:20

build fails in Ubuntu too so not Arch related.......

Do not mind it, very clean easy to use Firefox is massive!!!

onearm · 2008-09-03 11:01:20

I'm liking it for now (not as much as to drop ff though). More minimalist but it uses more memory than firefox. Can't wait to test it under linux.

Are you sure this is for the browser? If it is, what does Content and what does Services refer to?

Well, if you are trying to build the chromium utilities, then you should go ahead and try to debug that problem. Vut if you are trying to get a working browser, aka google chrome out of it, then, it is not Google Chrome.

This is the 3rd time I say so. I am getting the feeling that people does not read my posts.

That is just the standard google applications (like mail, docs, etc) User agreement. If you want to know about what info goes back to google goto the privacy page on the chrome website.

moljac024 · 2008-09-03 14:40:56

F*ck it anyway. Firefox does whatever you need. Don't feed the monster guys!

And AFAIK it is the 3rd time you are just wrong. Chromium is possible to build for windows. The result of the build is chrome... Here is an instruction how to build chromium on Windows: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how- … ns-windows Did not test it on my own thought...

Mr Green · 2008-09-03 14:44:31

Nah! why should Windows users have all the fun stuff ;-(

+1 for Arch build

Surely us Archers can build a simple browser!

The Monster is open source... I will just wait until there is a sane version, with all insane things (like sending information to google) eleminated . Firefox is great but chrome is defently faster and has some nice concepts...

In this case monster referred to google.

Who cares which company is the maintainer, it's a great basis for a browser and released on a great licence.

Am I talking about the Windows build, have I ever mentioned the windows build? Is anyone here talking about building the chromium utilities on Windows? Go ahead and build it on Windows for all I care. But never say I'm wrong before having facts. Check here, see the warning, there is no possible browser that can be built for Linux yet out of the chromium source.

Mr Green · 2008-09-03 16:12:41

Nooo Archers cannot read hehe, we will not be defeated, there must be a way of running chrome under Arch after all we use Linux anything is possible!

Arch Linux
